Becky Whitmore wasn’t planning to stay.
She came home to Hannibal, Missouri for one reason: to settle an inheritance she never expected from an aunt she barely knew.
She didn’t expect the River’s Edge Magic Emporium to feel like it had been waiting for her. She didn’t expect the enormous black lab and the imperious golden cat who had apparently been running the place on their own. And she definitely didn’t expect the building itself to have opinions.
But Iris White didn’t just leave Becky a building. She left her a secret thirty years in the making, a town full of people with long memories, and a mystery that someone from Chicago is very interested in keeping buried.
Becky is a decorated veteran, a former private security contractor, and a woman who has spent years being useful to everyone except herself. Hannibal is the last place she thought she’d land.
It might be the first place she’s ever belonged.
“A tender, haunted mystery about coming home to a place that has been waiting, not to save you, but to ask you to stay.”
Literary Titan
“Strange Inheritance at River’s Edge is for people who know that the things we didn’t ask to inherit are sometimes the things that finally bring us home.”

Book Two of the Big Muddy Mysteries sends Becky into an antique shop full of books the Emporium insists must be acquired—and a small-town committee vote that turns stranger than anyone expected.
